The accusations from the opposition parties against Morena and its allies continued yesterday due to the alleged errors in legislative technique in the vote where seven autonomous organizations were eliminated, while the president of the Political Coordination Board, Ricardo Monreal, celebrated the extinction of said entities.

In his account on Those amendments were annulled.

“Yesterday (Thursday), perhaps by mistake, when it voted to suppress the autonomous bodies, Morena eliminated a good part of the plan C (the constitutional reforms proposed on February 5 by the then president Andrés Manuel López Obrador). This was evident and we all realized it,” stressed the PRI member.

It may seem like a minor thing, but this defeats a good part of the reform proposed by the head of the Executive (Claudia Sheinbaum)said Moreira, who regretted that the majority parties seek to amend this failure with a simple correction to the document already voted on.

“There are rumors that the minutes have already been sent to the Senate, that with the errata several things were corrected. You will tell me ‘how does this affect the legislative process?’; well, we were arguing for hours, they eliminate a part of the plan C when they vote, and now they want to correct it with errata,” Moreira insisted.

For her part, the coordinator of the PAN parliamentary group in the Chamber, Noemí Luna, stated in her X account: Morena reforms what has been reformed because its initiatives are full of errors and inconsistencies. They believed that the opposition deputies would not notice, but we do read what we vote for. That’s why we denounce their attempts not to be exposed as how deceitful they are..

For his part, Monreal chose to no longer allude to the opposition’s accusations, and instead celebrated the disappearance of the autonomous organizations, which he described as a constitutional goop promoted by the international financial technocracy and its allieswho on Friday was given christian burial.

In a video message, he stressed: Realize, find out the truth of what autonomous organizations have represented and now we have put an end to them, because they were designed in a neoliberal stage that we do not share. It was the popular mandate of the people that forced us to make these decisions.
